It has always been a challenge to make a movie based on a video game. You have to capture the essence of the game, the parts that appeal to people and turn that into a story. Well, you could do that… or you can just make it an other action packed movie that comes in a dime a dozen and will leave fans raging. Hitman Agent 47 is one of those movies.

Hitman is a stealth assassin game where you try to take out your target without being noticed. Even better, they won’t even know you were there at all. Instead we get one public shoot-out after an other, “subdermal titanium armor” and an entire list of things that’ll make you rage.

In this movie it seems like the only things they got right were the outfits and the rubber ducky. Even the trailer illustrates just that.

The Craft – IMDB – BUY NOW – BUY ON BOL.COM
Witches! We all used to love the series ‘Charmed’, but what if their powers would be used wrongly or weren’t wielded correctly? Tons could go wrong, just like in this movie. Neve Campbell as a witch, who knew…

7. The Skeleton Key (2005)

HORROR | MYSTERY | THRILLER

The Skeleton Key – IMDB – BUY NOW – BUY ON BOL.COM
I think secretly everyone is a Kate Hudson fan after watching ‘How to lose a guy in 10 days’, but if you’re not already you will be now. She enters this spooky house and receives a skeleton key to open every door, but some doors, they should simply remain shut.

8. Sleepy Hollow (1999)

DRAMA| HORROR | MYSTERY

Sleepy Hollow – IMDB – BUY NOW – BUY ON BOL.COM
The story of the headless horseman starring Johnny Depp. There is no way this movie would be made any better. It’s completely different than the series that is now running. This is one of those movies that will stay in your mind forever.

9. Evil Dead (2013)

HORROR

11. Phone / Pon (2002)

DRAMA | HORROR | MYSTERY

Phone – IMDB – BUY NOW – BUY ON BOL.COM
This movie is by far underrated. I stumbled across it in a DVD renting shop and I will always remember some of the moments in this movie. It’s weird at times but mostly scary. Realistic? Not so much, but hey, we’re all walking around starring at our phone screens these days, we can praise ourselves it’s not realistic.

12. Sweeney Todd (2007)

DRAMA | HORROR | MUSICAL

Sweeney Todd – IMDB – BUY NOW – BUY ON BOL.COM
This is a strange strange story to tell. Even though the music gives it a bit of a happy twist this is a very gothic styled movie. The creation on its own is a masterpiece, a true piece of art. If you pick this one I hope you’ll like the story, it becomes quite the emotional horror.

13. The Lost Boys (1987)

COMEDY | HORROR

The Lost Boys – IMDB – BUY NOW – BUY ON BOL.COM
One of the best vampire movies you’ll ever see! Move aside Twilight and learn from the masters! What if you’d end up in a city with a whole badass gang of vampires? How to tell your mother she might be dating a vampire? This is quite a funny but an exciting adventure.

14. Ghost Ship (2002)

Everyone on this boat died due to a horrible accident seen at the start of this movie. Their ghosts are ready to haunt the living now and who are you to tell them they shouldn’t? This movie isn’t too gruesome but has quite an interesting story. Let’s face it who doesn’t like angry ghosts?
